Howe makes goal kicking look easy

Dunno if things have changed nowadays but I played Footy from about 9 years old until I was 21, never once was I coached on my kicking. In fact I don’t remember any conversations with any player about their technique. Edit: and now that I think of it, the variation in kicking technique was a lot.

Anybody know if any clubs have ever looked at SE Asia for recruits? Seems like a massive pool of athletes to draw from that wouldn’t have to travel to the other side of the world to find success. More asking as I’m curious than put forward that we do it.

In that case the man deserves a beer, haha

WOW the Carlton defender taking a dive from a light Melksham slap. That should be 1 week suspension.

I’ll cop immediately that this is pedantry at its finest but Tracc didn’t say that we’re ready for finals? He states we’ve found our game again and there are still 3 games until finals… if anything he’s saying that ‘we’ve regained our brand and are starting to dominate offensively BUT there are still 3 games UNTIL finals.’ So no, Christian Petracca didn’t say ‘the Dees are ready for finals’ From a journalism point of view this is factually wrong… In saying that, we are absolutely ready for finals, haha

One player a team does not make. We have 3 games to adjust our forward line. Petracca has been great up forward, Kozzy is getting to work and Viney is carrying the weight of the midfield on his shoulders and doing a fantastic job. Maxy is back in form and Clarry is said to be a week away. It's unfortunate Petty is out but we are 2nd on the ladder and we had to do this at times without Gawn, Oliver and Fritter. There's no reason we can't manage without Petty. There are more upsides than there are downsides at the moment.

Decision made: C'mon Freo.

He was laughing on the bench… that’s something right?? RIGHT????

Sigh.

Anybody been watching how Grundy has been doing in VFL as FF?

Moon boot for Petty??? Is that really bad?????

I have a friend from Argentina and I showed her a game of AFL and she asked me 'why do they make so many mistakes kicking it to their teammates? Don't they play this game their whole life?' I legitimately didn't have a good answer.

Why is that a mark to Petty but Smith got denied a Mark earlier? [censored] the umpiring is inconsistent

Thank gawd for Kozzy

That handball right there was a good example.

We've come into this game just thinking it's going to work out. You can tell by the loose disposals. We kicking/handballing like the target is just going to win the 1v1 against the north player. Show some respect or we're going to lose.

A lot of players can't do a lot of things today for us.

They could easily be 8 goals up and this game would be done. What the f..k is going on with us?

If North kick the first goal in the 2nd we are in serious trouble of losing this game.

Wow. Unbelievably this is now a danger game.

North going way harder at the ball than us.

Oh geez, good point. Split the difference, I’m going for a draw!
